In addition; supply unit 60 is configured to: after power supply board 11 is fixed to containment vessel 13, such as, agent 24 such as encapsulation such as the protection against the tide be made up of polyurethane resin etc. to be filled in the recess 13b having installed the containment vessel 13 of power supply board 11 in inside and to cover the roughly overall of power supply board 11.

That is; operating means 50 by the first resin bed 13c, first of the action button 7 of display part 6, guidance panel 8, console switch 10, operation substrate 9, gap A, containment vessel 13 do not fire cover 21, the second resin bed 13d of containment vessel 13, the space being filled with encapsulation agent 24, power supply board 11, be filled with encapsulation agent 24 space, connector 22, second does not fire cover 23, gap B is formed, be configured successively till the bottom 5a of display part 6 to resettlement section 5.In addition, gap A is equivalent to the space between the operation substrate 9 that determined by console switch alignment pin 39 and the first resin bed 13c of containment vessel 13.Gap B is equivalent to the space clamped by the bottom 5a that second does not fire cover 23 and resettlement section 5.

In addition; as shown in figures 1 to 6, the containment vessel 13 forming at least display part 6 of operating means 50, guidance panel 8, inner installing operation substrate 9 and power supply board 11 is configured in downward direction tilt towards face side (left side in figure) respectively to the face side of body of the washing machine 2 from clothes inlet 4.

As mentioned above, the washing machine possessing the operating means 50 of the supply unit 60 with present embodiment is formed.

Below, the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function being arranged at the first labyrinth part in operating means 50 and the second labyrinth part of the feature as present embodiment is explained.

First, as shown in Figure 1, the first labyrinth part 17 is formed by with lower part: a part for guidance panel 8 is extended and the first rib 25 obtained downwards; And first groove 26 of the cross sectional shape such as roughly complete cycle formed of the end in resettlement section 5 of clamping first rib 25 in roughly U-shaped (comprising U-shaped).And, the gap design between first rib 25 and the first groove 26 obtained narrow and forms the first labyrinth part 17, realizing water thus and be not easy to enter into the waterproof construction in resettlement section 5.Thus, the first waterproof portion is formed.

In addition, the roughly complete cycle of the first labyrinth part 17 refers to that a part to be fixed etc. due to wiring, screw and forms the structure of breach, does not certainly need to form labyrinth structure by complete cycle.In addition, the first labyrinth part 17 also can be the structure that first rib 25 abuts with a part for the first groove 26, can obtain same effect.Further, the first labyrinth part 17 also comprises the situation about being made up of the stop part 17a being arranged at clothes inlet 4 side on the width of washing machine only shown in Fig. 5.

Now, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, resettlement section 5, be arranged at guidance panel 8 clothes inlet 4 side left and right (width) two ends near position corresponding to screw hole 27a be formed with guidance panel installed surface 28.Guidance panel installed surface 28 be cut the end being formed at resettlement section 5 the first groove 26 and form, such as there is the lug boss 28a at two places.And, such as screw 27 is installed via guidance panel installed surface 28 with two guidance panels, fixes by carrying out screw via the screw hole 27a of guidance panel 8 at lug boss 28a, guidance panel 8 and resettlement section 5 are fixed.

In addition, as shown in Figure 1, the second labyrinth part 29 is formed by with lower part: a part for guidance panel 8 is extended and the second rib 30 obtained downwards; And the cross sectional shape that the roughly complete cycle of the peripheral end of the recess 13a at formation containment vessel 13 of clamping second rib 30 is formed is the second groove 31 of roughly U-shaped (comprising U-shaped).And, the gap design between second rib 30 and the second groove 31 obtained narrow and forms the second labyrinth part 29, realizing the waterproof construction that water is not easy to enter in the containment vessel 13 of operation substrate 9 side thus.Thus, the second waterproof portion is formed.

In addition, the second labyrinth part 29 also can be the structure that second rib 30 abuts with a part for the second groove 31, can obtain same effect.

Now; as shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, the power supply board 11 having installed microcomputer 20 and the power switch 19 being installed on containment vessel 13 are installed in the outside in the inner side (in resettlement section 5) of the first labyrinth part 17 and the region by the second labyrinth part 29 waterproof in resettlement section 5.And, for drawing the power switch encapsulation part 44 being used for lead-in wire 19a power switch 19 being connected to source power supply, carry out encapsulation process partially over such as epoxy resin etc.Thus, power switch 19 can waterproof for the water invaded from outside.In addition, connect power supply board 11 and be electrically connected with power supply board 11 with the lead-in wire 19a of power switch 19, and can waterproof by the encapsulation agent 24 covering power supply board 11.

Thus, especially encapsulation process do not carried out to operation substrate 9 and waterproof can be carried out by the simple structure of the first labyrinth part 17 and the second labyrinth part 29.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the high-current circuit that big current flows through motor even load is such as made to be configured at power supply board 11 by being connected with source power supply, and by low current Circnit Layouts such as display part 6, console switch 10 such as such as LED in operation substrate 9.Thereby, it is possible to the high current zone that is made up of high-current circuit such as power supply board 11 grade of configured separate and the low current region that is made up of low current circuit such as operation substrates 9.Its result; even if when such as producing condensation because temperature reduces in the region of the second labyrinth part 29 formed by guidance panel 8 and containment vessel 13, do not need especially to fill the operation substrate 9 that is made up of low current circuit with encapsulating agent 24 and carry out waterproof countermeasure yet.On the other hand, fill encapsulation agent 24 and cover high-current circuit such as power supply board 11 grade, therefore, it is possible to easily and prevent the short circuit that moisture etc. causes more reliably.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the roughly complete cycle operating the edge part of substrate 9 is surrounded by second rib 30.Therefore, even if when producing the spittle when the current direction invading resettlement section 5 from the first labyrinth part 17 is formed at the osculum 18 of resettlement section 5, also can prevent the spittle from invading in the region of the operation substrate 9 surrounded by the second labyrinth part 29.Further, even if when the foreign matters such as such as insect enter into resettlement section 5 from the osculum 18 being formed at resettlement section 5, also can prevent foreign matter from invading in the region of the operation substrate 9 surrounded by the second labyrinth part 29.Its result, prevents the short circuit of the operation substrate 9 caused due to the intrusion of moisture, foreign matter etc., thus can prevent the malfunction etc. of washing machine.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the operation substrate 9 forming operating means 50 is electrically connected by flat cable 32 grade with power supply board 11.Therefore, in order to draw flat cable 32, needs cut and cover a part for the second rib 30 of roughly complete cycle along the periphery operating substrate 9 and form flat cable outlet 33.Now, usually, flat cable outlet 33 is arranged at the opposition side of clothes inlet 4 and the face side of washing machine that tilts of containment vessel 13 downwards.Thus, water flows to below due to deadweight, therefore, it is possible to prevent from water from invading being configured in operation substrate 9 side of top.Further, following structure is set to: reel the sheet material 34 be such as made up of the foam rubber sheet with separated foam structure on flat cable 32, the gap between blocking and flat cable outlet 33.Thereby, it is possible to seamlessly block the flat cable outlet 33 of the notch as second rib 30 with sheet material 34.Its result, can prevent moisture from invading operation substrate 9 via flat cable outlet 33.That is, even if arrange notch in a part for second rib 30, the effect that the situation that also can obtain being configured to second rib 30 cover complete cycle along the periphery operating substrate 9 is identical.Its result, can realize operating means 50 and the washing machine with the good supply unit of reliability 60.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 4 and Figure 5, the part of the first groove 26 of the stop part 17a that the part cutting the first labyrinth part 17 in clothes inlet 4 side is formed and setting operation erecting of panel face 28.Therefore, in the first groove 26 of clothes inlet 4 side, guidance panel installed surface 28 becomes the minimum point of the first groove 26.

Therefore, the guidance panel installed surface 28 of the minimum point as the first groove 26 is formed in the position that the height of the peak 31a (usually, being equivalent to the position of the second groove 31 of clothes inlet 4 side) of the second groove 31 than formation second labyrinth part 29 is low.

That is, be configured to height reduce according to the order of upper end 26a, the peak 31a (upper end 31a) of the second groove 31 of the first groove 26, the guidance panel installed surface 28 being arranged at a part for the first groove 26, osculum 18.In addition, be configured to towards the face side of top gabarit 3, become far away apart from clothes inlet 4 according to the order of the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17, the second labyrinth part 29, operation substrate 9, flat cable outlet 33.

Thus, such as, when exceeding the stop part 17a of first labyrinth part 17 in formation first waterproof portion at water from clothes inlet 4 and invade, due to the minimum point that guidance panel installed surface 28 is the first groove 26, therefore water only invades from the part of guidance panel installed surface 28 and flow into resettlement section 5.Therefore, water can not invade from the peak 26a of the first groove 26 (upper end 26a).In this case, even if produce the spittle due to the flowing of water invaded from the part of guidance panel installed surface 28, also because the peak 31a of the second groove 31 can prevent water from invading in the region of operation substrate 9 higher than guidance panel installed surface 28.

As mentioned above, according to the present embodiment, can prevent water from invading operation substrate 9 by first labyrinth part 17 with stop part 17a in formation first waterproof portion and as the dual structure of second labyrinth part 29 (labyrinth part 29) in the second waterproof portion (waterproof portion).Therefore, do not need to carry out waterproof with encapsulation agent 24 overlapping operation substrate 9.Thus, the thermal stress that operation substrate 9 need not bear encapsulation agent 24, the mechanical stress caused by contraction, therefore, it is possible to the warpage suppressing parts such as operation substrate 9 grade.Its result, the action button 7 that guidance panel 8 and the position of operation substrate 9 can be made to depart from, be installed on guidance panel 8 and display part 6 and to be installed on the relative position of the console switch 10 operate substrate 9 stable.Further, the deviation of stroke when suppressing user to operate action button 7, can make operating physical force stablize.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, the top of inside groove 1 and tank 40 is such as opened with round-shaped, is provided with the Storage water tank cover 35 (following, to be recited as " tank cover ") of such as ring-type in the upper end of the opened portion as tank 40.Now, the osculum 18 in formation first waterproof portion is configured in the top of tank cover 35 and the more outward region of the edge part of the circular than tank cover 35 (comprise circular edge part).That is, the water being configured to discharge from osculum 18 can not drop onto the scope of tank cover 35 and inside groove 1.

According to this structure, such as, the foam produced at inside groove 1 in washing process exceeds tank cover 35 and overflows, before arriving osculum 18, drop to the below of body of the washing machine 2.Thus, prevent foam from invading in resettlement section 5 from osculum 18, in the region that can prevent from foam from invading from the gap etc. between containment vessel 13 and guidance panel 8 operating substrate 9.Its result, can prevent the short circuit operating substrate 9, prevent the malfunction of washing machine, mistake display etc.

In addition, as shown in figures 1 to 6, osculum 18 be such as with the angles of roughly 45 degree (comprising 45 degree) towards with the below of inside groove 1 opposite side (outer circumferential side), i.e. face side lower opening and formed.Thus, the water invading resettlement section 5 was discharged efficiently before accumulating the bottom 5a to resettlement section 5.Further, even if when the foam comprising detergent ingredients produced from inside groove 1 is crossed from tank cover 35 spilling and passed to the back side 5b of resettlement section 5, also foam can be guided into below by the inclined plane of osculum 18.Its result, can prevent foam from invading in resettlement section 5 effectively.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the stop part 17a of first labyrinth part 17 in formation first waterproof portion, between first rib 25 with the first groove 26 and between guidance panel 8 with guidance panel installed surface 28, be provided with the fitting portion that design gaps makes it possible to the dismounting guidance panel chimeric with guidance panel installed surface 28 8.Therefore, when putting into via clothes inlet 4 and take out clothing, water can invade from design gaps.Therefore, design forming design gaps makes the total cross-sectional area S2 of the aperture area being equivalent to osculum 18 (following, to be roughly recited as " area S2 ") be greater than the total cross-sectional area S1 of design gaps.In addition, the total cross-sectional area S1 of design gaps refers to area of section when to cut off the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17 in the circumference of the first labyrinth part 17 formed annularly.In addition, below, the total cross-sectional area S1 of the design gaps circulated by the water of intrusion is roughly recited as the area S1 of stop part 17a.

Below, Fig. 7 is used to specifically describe the reason area S2 of osculum 18 being set to the area S1 being greater than stop part 17a.

Fig. 7 is the structure of the stop part illustrated in the washing machine of present embodiment and the main portion sectional view of relative configuration relation.In addition, a left side of Fig. 7 illustrates the cross section near the guidance panel installed surface 28 of stop part 17a.In addition, the right side of Fig. 7 illustrates the cross section of the stop part 17a of formation first labyrinth part 17.

As shown in Figure 7, first, the area in face vertical for the current (arrow in the right figure of Fig. 7) flowed between first rib 25 and the first groove 26 with the stop part 17a in formation first labyrinth part 17 is set to S01.In addition, the area in the face vertical with the current flowed between guidance panel 8 and guidance panel installed surface 28 (arrow in the left figure of Fig. 7) is set to S02.And, as shown in Figure 7, the upper end 26a of the first groove 26 and the difference in height of guidance panel installed surface 28 are set to h01.In addition, area S01 and area S02 sum are equivalent to the area S1 of stop part 17a.

Now, when the water of flow Q02 meets (formula 2), flow out in resettlement section 5 between the first rib 25 and the first groove 26 of area S01.

(formula 2)

$Q02>S02\×\sqrt{(2\·g\·h01)}---\left(2\right)$

But the flow velocity flowing through the water of area S01 is compared with the flow velocity of the water flowing through area S02, and guidance panel installed surface 28 height about h01 is correspondingly slack-off with exceeding.

Further, in the present embodiment, the area S2 in the face vertical with the current flowing through osculum 18 is made to be greater than area S1 area S01 and area S02 being added up to the stop part 17a obtained.Therefore, when the flow flowing into resettlement section 5 is set to Q1, represent the flow velocity V1 of the water of the area S1 flowing through stop part 17a with (formula 3).On the other hand, when the flow of discharging from resettlement section 5 is set to Q2, represent the flow velocity V2 of the area S2 flowing through osculum 18 with (formula 4).

(formula 3)

V1＝Q1/S1(3)

(formula 4)

V2＝Q2/S2(4)

And, when being set to the water yield flowing into resettlement section 5 from the area S1 of stop part 17a and all only discharging from the area S2 of osculum 18, be Q1=Q2.But in the present embodiment, be designed to S1<S2, the flow velocity V1 therefore flowing through the water of the area S1 of stop part 17a and the flow velocity V2 of the area S2 flowing through osculum 18 form the relation that (formula 5) illustrates.

(formula 5)

V1>V2(5)

In addition, when the water level of the inflow part by stop part 17a is set to H1 (being equivalent to the height from guidance panel installed surface 28), the flow velocity V1 of the water of the area S1 flowing through stop part 17a is represented with (formula 6).

(formula 6)

$V1=\sqrt{(2\&CenterDot;g\&CenterDot;H1)}---\left(6\right)$

Similarly, when the water level of the inflow part by resettlement section 5 is set to H2 (being equivalent to the height from guidance panel installed surface 28), the flow velocity V2 of the water of the area S2 flowing through osculum 18 is represented with (formula 7).

(formula 7)

$V2=\sqrt{(2\&CenterDot;g\&CenterDot;H2)}---\left(7\right)$

Therefore, known according to (formula 5), water level H1 and water level H2 becomes the relation that (formula 8) illustrates.

(formula 8)

H1>H2(8)

That is, when the area S2 being set to osculum 18 is greater than the area S1 of stop part 17a, with flow through the first labyrinth part 17 stop part 17a water water level H1 compared with, the water level H2 accumulating in the water in resettlement section 5 must be low.Thereby, it is possible to reliably discharge the water invading resettlement section 5 via osculum 18.Its result, can reliably prevent water from invading operation substrate 9.

On the other hand, even if for some reason and under water level H1 and water level H2 be mutually level situation, according to (formula 6) and (formula 7), the flow velocity V1 flowing through the water of the area S1 of stop part 17a and the flow velocity V2 of the area S2 flowing through osculum 18 become the relation that (formula 9) illustrates.

(formula 9)

V1＝V2(9)

But, in the present embodiment, be designed to S1<S2.Therefore, according to (formula 3) and (formula 4), represent the relation of flow Q1 and the flow Q2 discharged from resettlement section 5 flowing into resettlement section 5 with (formula 10).

(formula 10)

Q1<Q2(10)

That is, known according to (formula 10), the flow Q2 discharged from osculum 18 is greater than the flow Q1 flowing into resettlement section 5.Therefore, the water level H2 of inside, resettlement section 5 reduces immediately.Thus, time per unit can be more than the water yield that can invade from the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17 from the water yield of osculum 18 discharge.Its result, even if under water level H1 is mutually level situation with water level H2, also can from osculum 18 draining effectively, thus can reliably and effectively prevent water from invading operation substrate 9.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, in the stop part 17a of first labyrinth part 17 in formation first waterproof portion, the length L (length of short transverse) of the part that first rib 25 is clamped by the first groove 26 is longer than the width W (cross-sectional width) of the first groove 26.Thus, by making through the narrows passageways of water of the stop part 17a in the first waterproof portion and the elongated space increasing ponding, will to improve water resistance.

Similarly, the length (short transverse length) of the part that the second rib 30 forming second labyrinth part 29 in the second waterproof portion is clamped by the second groove 31 is longer than the width (cross-sectional width) of the second groove 31.Thus, by making elongatedly to increase ponding space through the narrows passageways of the water in the second waterproof portion, water resistance can be improved.

As mentioned above, according to the present embodiment, by the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17 is set to labyrinth structure, can small-scale structure be kept and make the stream of the water of the design gaps flow through between first rib 25 and the first groove 26 narrow and length.Therefore, it is possible to minimizing is flow through the flow of the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17 and prevents water from invading operation substrate 9 efficiently.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, even if when the parts owing to forming guidance panel 8, resettlement section 5 etc. machining deviation etc. and the position of the first rib 25 of guidance panel 8 is such as departed to body of the washing machine 2 front (left side of Fig. 1), the gap between the front side of the body of the washing machine 2 of first rib 25 and the first groove 26 also narrows.Therefore, it is possible to prevent water from invading resettlement section 5 further by the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17, therefore can not reduce the waterproof effect of operation substrate 9.Similarly, even if when the position of the first rib 25 of guidance panel 8 is such as departed to body of the washing machine 2 rear (right side of Fig. 1), the gap of the rear side of body of the washing machine 2 also narrows.Therefore, effect same as described above is obtained.That is, can effectively prevent water from invading resettlement section 5 by labyrinth structure.Its result, the operation substrate 9 surrounded by the second labyrinth part 29 can waterproof.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, by forming stop part 17a and the osculum 18 of first labyrinth part 17 in the first waterproof portion, the water invaded in resettlement section 5 can be made to be not easy to lodge in resettlement section 5.Further, by forming second labyrinth part 29 in the second waterproof portion, the moisture dispersed that can prevent from producing during the water flow entered from the stop part 17a of the first labyrinth part 17, the foreign matter such as steam, insect entered from osculum 18 invade operation substrate 9.Its result, does not need to carry out waterproof by filling encapsulation agent 24 overlapping operation substrate 9.

Further, the thermal stress that operation substrate 9 need not bear encapsulation agent 24, the mechanical stress caused by contraction, therefore, it is possible to the warpage suppressing parts such as operation substrate 9 grade.Thereby, it is possible to the action button 7 making guidance panel 8 and the position of operation substrate 9 offsets, be installed on guidance panel 8 and display part 6 and to be installed on the relative position of the console switch 10 operating substrate 9 stable.Its result, deviation of stroke when user can be suppressed to operate action button 7 and make operating physical force stablize.

Be described particularly, when washing machine in the past, when with encapsulation agent 24 overlapping operation substrate 9, operation substrate, containment vessel warpage, therefore such as need the operating physical force etc. of strengthen operation button 7 to have problems in operability.Therefore, need to reduce (reducing) gap g2 as shown in Figure 1 such as between action button 7 and console switch 10 to alleviate operating physical force.But, when reducing gap g2, if user such as leans on washing machine etc. and mistakenly to action button 7 applies force near of guidance panel 8, even if be then not intended to ground pressing operation button 7, console switch 10 is also in the state etc. be pressed, and easily causes malfunction.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, do not need to fill overlapping operation substrate 9 with encapsulation agent 24, such as, near console switch 10, by the operation substrate installation protruding 14 of guidance panel 8 and operation substrate, screw 15 is installed and operation substrate 9 is directly fixed to guidance panel 8.Thus, agent overlapping operation substrate 9 need not be encapsulated, therefore, it is possible to prevent the distortion operating substrate 9, and easily operation substrate 9 is directly fixed to guidance panel 8.Further, by directly fixing, can make to be not easy to produce position between the console switch 10 of the action button 7 of guidance panel 8 and operation substrate 9 and offseting.Its result, by making size, the position relationship of action button 7 and console switch 10 stablize, suppressing the deviation of the operating physical force of console switch 10 and can reduce malfunction.

In addition; according to the present embodiment; between terminal, spacing is narrow and have few moisture just easily carry out the microcomputer 20 of malfunction and be connected with source power supply and need the power switch 19 of waterproof not to be installed on to prevent from leaking electricity and operate substrate 9; and the power supply board 11 be installed on by containment vessel 13 configured separate, and packed dose 24 covers.Therefore, owing to microcomputer 20, power switch 19 not being installed on operation substrate 9, even if agent 24 therefore need not be encapsulated carry out WATER REPELLENT TREATMENT to operation substrate 9, the generation of malfunction, electric leakage can also easily be prevented.

Further, according to the present embodiment, do not need cover power supply board 11 with encapsulation agent 24 and cover with encapsulation agent 24 the operation substrate 9 be connected with power supply board 11 by flat cable 32.Therefore, only cover be accommodated in the operation substrate 9 in containment vessel 13 and the only power supply board 11 in power supply board 11 with encapsulation agent 24.Its result, manufactures and becomes simple, and can accommodate the containment vessel 13 for stowing operation substrate 9 and power supply board 11 compactly in resettlement section 5.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, limit by the first labyrinth part 17 forming the first waterproof portion the water yield invading resettlement section 5, and carry out draining with osculum 18.Thus, the water invaded is not easy to lodge in resettlement section 5, and can carry out draining expeditiously.Further, second labyrinth part 29 in formation second waterproof portion is configured to labyrinth structure.Thereby, it is possible to restriction invades the water yield of operation substrate 9.Now, even if when water flow into operation substrate 9 side from the second labyrinth part 29, water is also by being arranged at whole the second groove around, and the flat cable outlet 33 be in downward direction formed slopely by the second rib 30 of the second labyrinth part 29 and a part for the second groove 31 makes invaded current can discharge in downward direction.Its result, the water invaded flows in groove, and water can not flow in the region of having accommodated operation substrate 9, and therefore water does not accumulate in operation substrate 9 side, therefore, it is possible to carry out the waterproof operating substrate 9 expeditiously.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the power switch integrally formed with guidance panel 8 is set near the power switch 19 of containment vessel 13 and installs protruding 36, with power switch, screw 37 is installed and containment vessel 13 is fixed on guidance panel 8.Now; the power switch alignment pin 38 (power switch location division) integrally formed with containment vessel 13 is arranged at the position (position) corresponding with power switch 19 of containment vessel 13, makes power switch alignment pin 38 chimeric with the perforate of power switch 19.Thereby, it is possible to prevent the position of power switch 19 from offseting.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the console switch alignment pin 39 (console switch location division) integrally formed with containment vessel 13 is arranged at the position (position) corresponding with console switch 10 of containment vessel 13.Thus, console switch alignment pin 39 abuts with the operation substrate 9 near console switch 10.Its result, when user presses the operation button 7, can prevent the console switch 10 being installed on operation substrate 9 from moving in downward direction.Further, the operating physical force being applied to console switch 10 can be made to stablize.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, by integrally formed on containment vessel 13 to power switch alignment pin 38 and console switch alignment pin 39.Therefore, when user presses the operation button 7, the position of power switch 19, console switch 10 can not offset.Further, with operation substrate installation screw 15 and power switch, screw 37 is installed operation substrate 9 and containment vessel 13 screw are fixed on guidance panel 8.Therefore, guidance panel 8 and the distance between console switch 10 and power switch 19 be not by the impact of the dimensional discrepancy beyond guidance panel 8, action button 7 and containment vessel 13.Its result, can make the operating physical force being applied to console switch 10 stablize further.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, at least one in resettlement section 5, guidance panel 8 and containment vessel 13 is such as shaped with flame retardant resins such as flame-proof ABS resins.Thus, even if when power supply board 11 breaks down, also can prevent to prolonging burning etc. outside product.

In addition, in the present embodiment, do not fire cover 21 and second be made up of heat-resistant component first and do not fire cover 23 and be configured to example by metallic plate and be illustrated, but be not limited thereto.Such as can not fire cover 21 by first and the second any one of not firing in cover 23 is such as formed with incombustible materials such as fire proofing, mica such as ABS resins yet.Thus, when manufacturing washing machine, there is not the restriction of the sequence of operation of installation etc., therefore design becomes easy.

In addition, in the present embodiment, illustrate the structure that action button 7 and guidance panel 8 are integrally formed, but be not limited thereto.Such as, also can only form action button with transparent material etc. and be formed with the parts separated.Thereby, it is possible to make action button 7 luminous and show in the mode easily recognized, and owing to not needing to be integrally formed, therefore design becomes easy.

(embodiment 2)

Below, use Fig. 8 that supply unit in embodiments of the present invention 2, operating means are described and possessed the washing machine of these supply units, operating means.In addition, below, in the same manner as embodiment 1, upright type washing machine is illustrated.

Fig. 8 is the main portion sectional view around the supply unit of washing machine in embodiments of the present invention 2 and operating means.

That is; the washing machine of present embodiment and the difference of embodiment 1 are; that replace the supply unit of the part forming operating means, that insert molding first is not fired cover and formed boat shape containment vessel, arranges and does not fire component between boat shape containment vessel and power supply board.In addition, omit the description and the supply unit of embodiment 1, operating means and the identical structural element, effect etc. of washing machine possessing these supply units, operating means.Therefore, below, the supply unit 80 as the feature of present embodiment and operating means 70 is described in detail.

In addition; in the same manner as embodiment 1; collecting the boat shape containment vessel 13 (following, to be roughly recited as " containment vessel 13 ") of the operation substrate 9 of protection structure operating means 70 and power supply board 11 are at least had by such as cross sectional shape and are arranged at surface in roughly H-shaped (comprising H-shaped) and form with the identical parts of two recesses 13a, the 13b at the back side.Now, it is inner and protected that power supply board 11 is installed in recess 13b of containment vessel 13, and it is inner and protected that operation substrate 9 is installed in another recess 13a.

Namely; as shown in Figure 8, the supply unit 80 of the washing machine of present embodiment at least by power supply board 11, protection power source substrate 11 containment vessel 13, be such as made up of mica component 41 do not fire component 41 and at least cover power supply board 11 and the encapsulation agent 24 of not firing component 41 is formed.

In addition, the washing machine of present embodiment operating means 70 by be arranged at the guidance panel 8 of top gabarit 3 of housing, the operation substrate 9 for input operation, the power supply board 11 forming supply unit 80 and protection power source substrate 11 and operation substrate 9 containment vessel 13 form.

And, be configured between the bottom 13e having accommodated a recess 13b of power supply board 11 in containment vessel 13 and power supply board 11 as the mica component 41 not firing component 41, be installed on the bottom 13e of containment vessel 13.

Now, even if also possess good insulating properties as the mica component 41 not firing component 41 under the condition of high temperature of such as more than 500 DEG C.Therefore, even if the temperature being installed on the parts of power supply board 11 in the high output due to products such as carried such as washing machines etc. rises, also can insulating properties be guaranteed.Further, be installed on the leading part (not shown) of the parts such as the microcomputer 20 of power supply board 11, connector 22 even if contact with mica component 41, the insulaion resistance between leading part also can not reduce.Its result, can prevent that the mistake of the products such as washing machine from showing, malfunction.In addition, even if when the high-tension circuit be connected with source power supply of power supply board 11 breaks down and generates heat, also can insulating properties be guaranteed by the mica component 41 with high-fire resistance.Its result, even if when breaking down, also maintains high security, can guarantee high reliability.

And; even if when the leading part (not shown) being installed on the parts such as leading part 10a, connector 22 forming the operation substrate 9 of operating means 70 and the such as console switch 10 of power supply board 11 is outstanding from the back side of operation substrate 9, power supply board 11, also contact with the resin bed of containment vessel 13 or mica component 41.Therefore, it is possible to the resistance between the leading part of peventing member reduces.Its result, can realize the operating means 70 with the good supply unit of reliability 80 and the washing machine that can prevent malfunction, mistake from showing.

Below, the preparation method of the supply unit 80 possessing mica component of present embodiment is described simply.

First, cross sectional shape is such as made to be that the bottom 13e of the recess 13b side of the containment vessel 13 of roughly H-shaped (comprising H-shaped) is flatly arranged upward.

Then, the bottom 13e of containment vessel 13 will be configured in as the mica component 41 not firing component 41.

Then, in the above-described state, power supply board 11 is fixed to the power supply board fixed claw 16 of containment vessel 13.

Afterwards, such as, under the state being provided with the encapsulation agent 24 such as polyurethane resin, put into high temperature groove, such as, under the condition of 60 DEG C, make encapsulation agent 24 dry and solidify.

And mica component 41 is installed in the bottom 13e of the recess 13b of containment vessel 13, packed dose 24 covers and produces supply unit 80 together with power supply board 11.

Thus, even if be used as not fire component 41 by the mica component 41 of usual thin and fragile, also with encapsulation agent 24, mica component 41 is fixed on containment vessel 13 after encapsulation.Therefore, prevent from being out of shape by mica component 41, peel off the quality badness that causes and insulating properties can be guaranteed for a long time.

In addition, usually, if mica component 41 absorbs the moisture in air, then insulating properties are easily deteriorated.But, by being fixed with encapsulation agent 24, mica component 41 can being interdicted and avoids it to contact with air.Its result, prevents the quality badness of the mica component 41 caused by moisture absorption and can realize safety and the high supply unit 80 of reliability, operating means 70 and possess the washing machine of these supply units 80, operating means 70.

In addition, collecting in a recess 13b of containment vessel 13 power supply board 11 of protection structure supply unit 80, accommodate and protects in the recess 13a of side overleaf and operate substrate 9, can produce the operating means 70 possessing supply unit 80 thus.Its result, can form operating means 70 small-sizedly, and can make the integral miniaturization of the products such as washing machine.

Below, with reference to Fig. 8, the supply unit of present embodiment and other structure of operating means are described.

That is, as shown in Figure 8, supply unit 80 and the operating means 70 of other example of present embodiment are with the difference of above-mentioned supply unit 80 and operating means 70, arrange confirm window 42 (through hole) in a part of position opposite with the position arranging mica component 41 of power supply board 11.Similarly, usually, a part for mica component 41 is configured to also give prominence to than the end of power supply board 11 periphery, therefore be also with the difference of above-mentioned supply unit 80 and operating means 70, the confirmation gap 43 (through hole) observing the mica component 41 of projecting scope from least one end of power supply board 11 is set.Other structure is identical, therefore omits the description.

Now, as shown in Figure 8, confirm that the such as diameter d 1 of window 42 is formed as the gap g3 be greater than between power supply board 11 and mica component 41.Thus, when manufacturing supply unit 80, operating means 70, the illumination light at manufacture scene can be made by confirming that window 42 arrives the surface of mica component 41.Its result, can install mica component 41 via confirmation window 42 by visual being reliably confirmed whether.

In addition, mica component 41 is in roughly white (comprising white), and containment vessel 13 is in roughly black (comprising black), and encapsulation agent 24 is made up of the material of roughly transparent (comprising transparent).In addition, formed with different colors to the color of major general's mica component 41 and the color of containment vessel 13 if be set to, then the combination of the color of mica component 41 and the color of containment vessel 13 is arbitrary.

Thereby, it is possible to from confirmation gap 43, confirm that window 42 is by the part of visual confirmation mica component 41.Its result, can prevent from forgetting the mica component 41 installed and will be installed to the bottom 13e of containment vessel 13 when such as manufacturing.

That is, by being arranged at confirmation window 42, the confirmation gap 43 of power supply board 11, can observe whether mica component 41 has been installed by encapsulation agent 24.Therefore, when manufacturing supply unit 80 and operating means 70, when by visual confirmation mica component 41, by the roughly black of the containment vessel 13 that really admits a fault but the roughly white of mica component 41, can prevent from forgetting installation mica component 41.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, be illustrated with example supply unit, operating means being equipped on upright type washing machine, but be not limited thereto.Such as also can be equipped on the equipment that drying machine, scrubbing-and-drying unit, internal groove washing machine, dish cleaning machine etc. use water, identical effect can be obtained.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, illustrate structure supply unit, operating means being arranged at the upper surface of the top gabarit of washing machine, but be not limited thereto.Such as, according to environment for use, the equipment carrying supply unit, operating means, such as, the position that the face side of top gabarit, the face side of bottom gabarit or side etc. are suitable can be also arranged on.Thus, improve versatility, and the restriction in design can be relaxed.

As mentioned above, operating means of the present invention possesses: guidance panel, and it is arranged at the top gabarit of housing; Operation substrate, it is for input operation; Power supply board; And containment vessel, its protection power source substrate and operation substrate, at least have two recesses being arranged at surface and the back side.And have following structure: containment vessel is protection power source substrate in a recess, in another recess, protection operation substrate, is provided with heat-resistant component in the mode of insert molding in the containment vessel between power supply board and operation substrate.

Thereby, it is possible to form operating means small-sizedly.In addition, when the high-tension circuit of the power supply board be connected with source power supply breaks down and generates heat, the parts also generated heat owing to being protected by heat-resistant component can not with the external contact of operating means.Therefore, even if high-tension circuit breaks down, the security of product also can be improved.
